Even if you’re not using the 13th Age rules, these ten icons demarcate and imply the Otherworld setting. (And you can plug Icons into, say, GUMSHOE or the game system of your choice with ease – Ken did it for Night’s Black Agents here). Player characters in Otherworld are assumed to start off in ignorance […]

Co-ordinating this month’s See Page XX from Ireland has been tricky. An abundance of beautiful art and music has been flooding in for the Dracula Dossier (if you’re a backer, you can see this in the latest backers-only update), using up all of the Irish internet pipes as both Gareth and I excitedly try to […]

The RPG Geek DramaSystem Contest 2015 by Yohann Delalande I only discovered Hillfolk a year ago. I was fortunate enough to experience a demo game run by Robin D. Laws himself at the Chimériades, a small French convention with a huge gaming-holiday feel. This experience turned into a real eye-opener. DramaSystem showed me how to […]
Ignoring the vagaries of its publishing history, Pierton’s Night Jungle makes a great setting for gaming. If you just want to tell stories in the mode of the Kalamane Cycle, where heroic fantasy heroes battle monsters and weird sorcery, then you can just grab a copy of 13th Age and wait until next month when […]

Here are some of the games that Pelgranistas have been playing and enjoying this month: Cat I recently went to the small (but perfectly formed) UK RPG convention, Concrete Cow, and had some great gaming experiences there.

We’ve had our heads down for the last month trying to wrangle the growing piles of Dracula Dossier text into more printable book forms, and that’s been eating into our time to do other things, like making some changes to the shop and website. But they’ll be coming soon, probably in the next few months. […]

They’re incredibly effective in law enforcement, but it’s less exciting for play if either player characters or their opponents drop instantly after a single hit. Robin D. Laws’ investigative space opera Ashen Stars is a notable exception, where […]
